Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I would like to see more people coming in the door. This means more people are getting into reptiles and I would like to see more captive bred vendors. Neither of these were on the list..

free tables?
How about free tables for vendors? Free up front that is. It might be hard to keep track of if you have some shady vendors but what about charging the vendors based on a rate of what their sales are?
For example:
$0-500 = 25
501-1000 = 50
1000+ = 75
Or something similiar. I could see a problem about tracking what is getting sold etc but in principle if I was a vendor this would be a great thing.
The reimbursable admission for buyers is good but I would add in a $25 minimum or so to it.

I agree about getting more people involved in reptiles. Maybe more advertizing? This is going to sound very dorky, but with our gerbil shows we get ad space on local radio stations (college and family AM stations) as well as local newspaper space. It's a way to get families involved. Since a lot of kids get in to reptiles, getting their parents aware of shows gets the whole family involved.
I also love when the vendors are all in a good mood and will spend time with any of their buyers, from people buying $10,000 snakes to $10 snakes. You can tell a show where they vendors are happy to be there, showing off breeding projects they worked so hard on, and are proud of their animals. It makes the whole day fun.

There are gerbil shows?
Some big shows like the NARBC are advertised ob radio, in newspaper and on televison. You just have to realize that most herp shows could not do that as the cost is tremendous for this biz. The promoters for the shows I mentioned above spend a tremendous amount of money on a public relations firm that runs all the advertising for them in all media in the 3 different parts of the country they do their shows in (LA, Chicago and Phily).
No, really.... gerbil shows?

I probably should have put this question up as a new thread but it ties in with this one so well!
What do you think of having a show outdoors? Have it more of a "festival" type scenario with Ez-Up tents for vendors and a couple larger tents for activities, contests, and food? Some opinions would be greatly appreciated!
